Beautiful avenue with many stuccoed houses. It was named after the former Aachen Lord Mayor Franz Oppenhoff (born August 18, 1902 in Aachen, † March 25, 1945 ibid).
In September 1944, American troops were shortly before Aachen. Oppenhoff crossed the border into Belgium and made contact with the Americans. Thus ended the war in Aachen earlier. Oppenhoff was later murdered by the Nazis.
